Science: 1.Physical Attributes needed to be the best in this sport:
Senses: A triple jump athlete must have a good sense of sight and touch, as they must hit each of their required points with precision and balance.
Muscle Groups ( describe if they should be fast and or strong): I think that the triple jump actually uses all 11 of the major muscle groups to some extent. They are Quadriceps (fast/strong), Hamstrings (fast/strong), Calves (fast/strong), Chest (strong), Back (strong), Shoulders (strong), Triceps (strong), Biceps (strong), Forearms (strong), Trapezius (strong) and Abs (strong).
Mental focus skills: The triple jumper must complete several things and in a certain order to successfully complete their event. If they mess up on any of them, they will fail. It's very important that they remain focused and really try to block everything else out of their mind. 2.Dietary Requirements:

Injury 1: Hamstring Pulls
Injury 2: Quadriceps Pulls
Injury 3: Shin Splints 4. How do these apply to your sport?
Physical: The triple jump athlete must be in great physical condition. They are usually tall and lean.
Mental/Emotional: They must be very focused and free of distractions. Can't let themselves get down.
Social: Like most sports, track & field is a community where the athletes all know each other and compete hard.
Intellectual: A great athlete usually studies their sport and competition. They need to be smart.
Spiritual: Many athletes are very spiritual and attribute their skills and success to God (or who they believe in). 5. List three athletes in the history of your sport with their medals won and the years they won them.
